Comment(by jason):

 Enough stuff looked fishy in your output that I have to ask: Are you using
 the most recent version of the patch?  From the pkg-config files, it
 doesn't look like it.

 What commands are you running?  The following two sequences of commands
 should work to update the .pc files:

 1. Build sage from source in directory A

 2. Run Sage (this may be optional---it depends on if the build creates a
 correct local/lib/sage-current-location.txt file)

 3. Move the sage build directory to directory B

 4. Run Sage in the new directory (this updates the sage-current-
 location.txt file, and also updates the .pc files, etc.)

 Then the file paths should be updated.

 Alternatively, this should work:

 1. Build sage from source in directory A

 2. Make a bdist (this automatically runs Sage, so it takes care of step 2
 above)

 3. Extract the bdist

 4. Run Sage in the new directory (this updates the sage-current-
 location.txt file, and also updates the .pc files, etc.)


 In either situation, at the top of each local/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc file,
 there should be a SAGE_ROOT=new directory after step 3, and the local/lib
 /sage-current-location.txt file should also contain the new directory
 name.  Neither of those are true for your attached outputs, so I think
 either you are using the old version of the patch or didn't follow one of
 the steps.  Or my code has a bug :).
